Main Shape Shifter Baggage Discussion

I don't understand this topic. Why can't the mass just come from the air and the ground he's standing on?

@88.211.10.142: THANK YOU! I've never understood why this can't be the case.

In the latter, because we never see a sudden root system or hole where the shapeshifter is standing. In the former, even assuming the air around them isn't violently sucked in like a vacuum chamber were opened, you can't make an arm out of air (not enough of the heavier elements people are made of).
